GameStrat is one of the fastest-growing tech startups and the market leader in instant video replay software for football teams and tactical training groups. Founded by former University of Ottawa football players, it began as a tool to give their team a competitive advantage on game day and quickly evolved into the go-to solution for football programs, as well as for defense and law enforcement organizations.

Now trusted by over 1,000 teams and organizations across North America, GameStrat is known for its speed, reliability, and ease of use, helping football coaches on game day while also providing tactical units with a powerful tool to enhance training and evaluations.

The Role

This is a senior individual contributor role focused on core systems spanning iOS and desktop applications used in live, real-world environments. You will work on cross-platform software and hardware-adjacent workflows that support multiple product lines across football and tactical training use cases.

This role supports both the continued evolution of our football platform and the development of new applications for law enforcement and military use cases. You will help shape shared technical foundations that support multiple markets, rather than working on a single isolated product.

You will not be handed perfectly scoped tasks. You will be trusted to identify problems, propose solutions, and execute with a strong sense of responsibility to the product and the environments in which it is used.

This role is best suited for someone who is comfortable operating without perfect requirements enjoys turning real world problems into working systems.

What You Will Work On

• Cross-platform desktop applications running on macOS and Windows
• Video capture, playback, tagging, and performance-critical analysis workflows
• Systems designed to operate reliably in offline, low-connectivity, or constrained environments
• Shared architecture supporting both football and tactical training products
• Incremental improvements to a mature production codebase while enabling new capabilities
• Technical decisions that directly impact operational reliability and user trust
